Methods

GroupSim_pairwise_VHDF

It is defined as:

VHDF = 0.5*(sqrt(mean_{a in group1}(D(a, group2)^2)) + sqrt(mean_{b in group2}(D(b, group1)^2)))
group_sim = 1 - VHDF

The term semantic similarity method and the IC method can be set via control argument:

group_sim(dag, group1, group2, method = "GroupSim_pairwise_VHDF"
    control = list(term_sim_method = "Sim_Lin_1998", IC_method = "IC_annotation")`.

Other parameters for the term_sim_method can also be set in the control list.
